Tour cards... who uses them?

After reading a few tour journals that mentioned little business cards, I made some of my own. I'm just wondering though, how many people actually have these? I think it's an awesome idea...

I wish I'd had some. I think.
Then again, all I had was a website that was barely updated.

I wrote this Travel Card guide long ago and still have people contacting me amazed at the quality. Depending on your photography, these blow regular cards away and you make them right at home (with a photo quality printer). I have a version with our home number on it and always carry a few in the local area. You can make these the full size of a business card but I like size I've set the guide to produce.

Cheers,

I am currently traveling around parts of South America and found that the cards I made have come it quite handy. I give them mostly to other travelers and the occasional local whom I've hit it off with. I was a little embarassed at first to hand them out, but it is often easier then searching for a pen and loose paper. I think they are a great idea.
